4/18: Somewhere

     For this assignment I was very excited to be able to photoshop myself into one of my favorite movies. I really enjoyed being able to choose the scene and make it my own. I really had a fun time utilizing the various tools and techniques we used in photoshop. Before shooting my photo, I looked at the lighting and overall color of the image and tried to recreate it. There is a lot of natural light in the photo so I shot my picture in daylight and also used a LED lights to replicate that glow in the photo.

I found this project to be very enjoyable and not too hard. It was fairly easy to take the picture and decide where I wanted to crop myself in. I had trouble adjusting my body size because my head had to be proportional to Timothee Chalamets and also the book I was holding had to be comparable to the books on the ledge. Because I got the lighting pretty much spot on, and the magnetic lasso tool made it easy to cut myself in, the only thing I really had to play around with was the various adjustments (saturation, color balance, etc.) I also found it hard to get the right angle when taking my photo because the original is shot a bit off centered, All in all, I am happy with how it came out and really enjoyed this project.

4/23: InDesign Intro

Image
 Video1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSfYVn5MqbQ      In this video, the creator thoroughly explains come tools in InDesign. I find it really interesting how similar yet different each application is. One of the tools that seemed similar yet a bit different than the other creative cloud apps is the select tool particularly how it moves images and objects around. The video explains how InDesign puts everything into a frame, I am assuming for layout purposes. I noticed when he was inserting images, the shape you put your image into is different than the actual image., You can move the image around within the frame. The image and the shape you insert the image into are two different entities.  Video 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDfM8VmDRzQ     In this video, the creator does a similar job as the first one. They go through all the basic capabilities that each tool has. Although I didn't think any of them were too hard I thought the scissor tool. Once you place an image into I

5/2: Final Portfolio

Image
 To end the class, we made a portfolio of all the work we have completed this semester. I had a lot of fun making it my own and being able to showcase all my hard work over the past couple months. I made my book in InDeisgn and rather than using a pre-made template, I decided to make it completely on my own which was very fun. I wanted it to be completely authentic and made by me because I plan to keep this as a way to to continue to advertise my work.       Over the last few months, I have learned how to use Adobe Creative Cloud apps such as: Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. I think this project is so helpful because it shows me all the progress I have made when it comes to my own art. I enjoyed this class thoroughly and it is nice to see all of my work showcased. I think I will use this portfolio not only to show my work but as a marker of progress and and the ways I improve my art in the future.  Artists Statement: HI! My name is Gabby Pelechaty and I am currently
